19.3.1 Configuring MAC Address Filter

Your ZyXEL Device checks the MAC address of the wireless station device against a list of
allowed or denied MAC addresses. However, intruders could fake allowed MAC addresses so
MAC-based authentication is less secure than EAP authentication.
Follow the steps below to create the MAC address table on your ZyXEL Device.
1 From the main menu, enter 3 to open Menu 3 – LAN Setup.

DESCRIPTION
Enable Maximum Frame Burst to help eliminate collisions in mixed-mode
networks (networks with both IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b traffic) and
enhance the performance of both pure IEEE 802.11g and mixed IEEE 802.11b/
g networks. Maximum Frame Burst sets the maximum time, in microseconds,
that the ZyXEL Device transmits IEEE 802.11g wireless traffic only.
Type the maximum frame burst between 0 and 1800 (650, 1000 or 1800
recommended). Enter 0 to disable this feature.
Select Yes to enable the Breathing LED, also known as the ZyAIR LED.
The blue ZyAIR LED is on when the ZyXEL Device is on and blinks (or breaths)
when data is being transmitted to/from its wireless stations. Clear the check box
to turn this LED off even when the ZyXEL Device is on and data is being
transmitted/received.
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS. Select No
to allow Intra-BSS traffic, select Yes to block all Intra-BSS traffic.
Note: The setting automatically changes from No to Yes if you
enable layer-2 isolation in the web configurator. Change it
back to No if you want to allow intra-BSS traffic.
Set the output power of the ZyXEL Device in this field. If there is a high density
of APs within an area, decrease the output power of the ZyXEL Device to
reduce interference with other APs.The options are 17dBm (50mW), 15dBm
(32mW), 13dBm (20mW), 11dBm (12.6mW) or 7dBm (5mW) for IEEE802.11b
mode and 13dBm (20mW), 11dBm (12.6mW), 9dBm (7.9mW), 7dBm (5mW) or
3dBm (2mW) for IEEE802.11g mode.
